Several issues Dairy Producers need to |
1. USDA Seeks Public Comment on Proposal to Strengthen Animal Disease Traceability Regulations |
The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
is proposing to amend animal disease traceability regulations and require electronic identification
for interstate movement of certain cattle and bison. APHIS is also proposing to revise and clarify
record requirements. These changes would strengthen the Nation’s ability to quickly respond to
significant animal disease outbreaks. Major animal disease outbreaks hurt our ranchers and farmers
and all those who support them along the supply chain, threaten our food security, and impact our
ability to trade America’s high quality food products around the world. Rapid traceability in a
disease outbreak could help ranchers and farmers get back to selling their products more quickly;
limit how long farms are quarantined; and keep more animals from getting sick. |
2. FDA Draft Guidance for Industry: Labeling of Plant-Based Milk Alternatives as "Milk" |
February 22, 2023: FDA Guidance on Plant-Based Beverages' use of dairy terms is a first step, NMPF says while
calling for complete transparency in labeling. |
